We are all well aware than 95% percent of the toys and memorabilia were produced in the US, UK and followed by Japan .
When it comes to other countries it becomes a bit tricky to make a full list .
The french market produced some really nice stuff as well , not so easy to locate . The most common are of course the Noveltex shirts that come in different shapes and colours and with different tags . Many other textile companies offered a selection of clothes and accesories inc. raincoats, suits, belts, shoes, ....
The volcano playset, produced in France, from YOLT is still a really desirable piece amongst 007 collectors .
I heard some rumours about an boat made in the sixties , but never seen anything about it until the other day when a french friend of mine called me in order to tell me he actually located one in pretty good shape and condition . I called up the seller and closed the deal . I need to pick it up and give it a good clean , but here are the first pictures .

Needs to go in a Bond museum.

As Indiana Jones would say "it belongs in a museum!"

Looks like the SW/IJ archive book and perhaps a Magnoli or Markpoon Cross of Coronado. Rcovered by Indy from a merchant ship off the Portuguese coast. It belongs in a museum indeed!

The book is right, but it is RelicMaker's Cross of Coronado
Ah yes, RelicMaker. Good choice and very nice piece indeed. Apart from the fact that I recognize you as a very discriminating Bond collector with a great collection consisting of some very choice pieces, you are also a man after my own heart because of your obvious affection for Dr. Jones. "You da man!"

Yes, my good man, I think you're right.
